I was nearly mowed down by a bus in Crown Heights last night, thanks to two martinis and the Pet Shop Boys. But I didn’t recognize the irony until I read the morning headlines.

From AdAge:

The owner of Georgi Vodka
said he is in talks to put the derriere of former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s
call girl on the backside of every bus in New York.

Says the CEO:

“The girl’s butt we have on there now is pretty good, but if you can
get [Dupre] to do it, and to make some personal appearances, it’s like
Paris Hilton or something. We are trying to work out
a contract.”

My IQ dropped 10 points just reading this story. I need more coffee.
